Top 10 Signs Someone is a Narcissist
A narcissist is someone with an overly inflated ego. They tend to believe that they are greater than they actually are, and never see themselves in the wrong. We all know a narcissist. Here are 10 signs that we should look out for.
Not a surprise, as this is what comes to mind when most people think about narcissism. They think far too highly of themselves and act like they're more intelligent and attractive than everyone else. Most of the time, they're not perfect or as amazing as they claim to be.
They are obviously very insecure and need a way to make themselves feel better about their pathetic lives.
What's scary about this list is that most of these signs disturbingly apply to one of my worst bullies back when I started high school.
These self-righteous jerks apparently believe that they know what's best for everyone and therefore everybody must adhere to their standards. They love feeling in control because they get to dominate their peers.
Their dictatorship skills will certainly lead to disaster. Unfortunately for them, they'll never admit to it.
Narcissists always act like they're a victim. Whenever they get called out for something, they see it as some sort of threat and will try to create an argument over it. It can be something really petty, but they'll still try to make a huge deal over it.
They cannot handle criticism at all.
Of course, when things don't go their way, they'll try to steal the thunder from the winner or believe that they have been robbed. They can't just suck it up and be happy for other people. If they don't win, it must have been unfair or their opponent was cheating.
To these people, facts don't matter. Most of their opinions and beliefs are founded on their feelings. They don't seem to cope with how the people around them feel.
We all must accept their decisions even if we don't agree with them, or else they'll lose it.
They don't care to listen to your ideas or opinions. To them, they're always right, so why should they have to go with your ideas? They would much rather hear themselves than other people.
And of course, we always have to listen to them and
These people can NEVER see themselves in the wrong, and it's so frustrating. They will try to push the blame onto someone else or act like they don't care. They will also gaslight you into making you think that you're the problem and not them.
Normally, if you have issues with a lot of people, then it's most likely that you're the problem and not them. They tend to cheat in their relationships or have multiple partners. None of their relationships end passively, and they believe that they're always in the right.
At this point, we know that's not the case. If they have friends by some miracle, they may dump you over something really petty. They don't appreciate honesty and just want yes-men. It's like they can't try to resolve things peacefully and maturely. They will hold an unnecessary grudge for a long time, even if you apologize numerous times.
Everything is always about them and only them. They never want to hear about anyone else.
They have ways of making you believe that you are unimportant to them. They may ignore you and try to make you believe that you need them. This is what they want, for you to constantly beg for their attention.
In reality, they need you. They are nothing without the people they manipulate. They thrive off insecure people to feed their massive egos.
Narcissistic people strive for perfection and will stop at nothing to make themselves look good. They will only be interested in interacting with you if they get something out of it. And as always, you must be making all the effort.
They won't deliver on their end and expect you to do everything for them while they get the credit.
Narcissists are incapable of feeling empathy. They do not care about the feelings and emotions of other people.
They do not feel remorseful when they hurt other people or do things that are wrong. They just don't care.
